I can say DDL played the "same" role in There Will Be Blood and Gangs of New York. Denzel owned the role in Training Day the same way DDL did as Bill the Butcher.

If you've seen Glory, Malcom X, Training Day, don't see how you weren't impressed.

Denzel's last good role was American Gangster, where he played a tough guy (much like in Training Day). Now he plays what I like to call the "guy with nothing to lose" character...over and over and over again.

As there were similarities in the villainous roles of Bill and Plainview so would there be similarities in the portrayal. Have you seen The Crucible or In The Name of The Father?
And of course I've seen those Denzel flicks. It was those movies that made me realize he plays "Denzel" in each one of them..

That is true, and no I haven't, it'd be unfair for me to judge DDL completely since I've only seen a few of his movies (Mohicans would be the only other one that comes to mind).

Denzel isn't a versatile actor, I don't disagree, but because of his unique charisma, he will be looked at as always just being Denzel lol.

And I don't see how anyone can not find the whipping scene in Glory freaking powerful. Because he doesn't have a single line and it still is able to move you the way it did, makes this scene special IMO.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDOPJawut4Y

Have you seen The Hurricane? I wouldn't say he was just being Denzel in that one. Wait, I meant... he wasn't Denzel for 20 minutes.:ha:
